Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 580 4MATIC (2021) is rated by experts as a superior-performance luxury SUV (483 hp and 700 Nm Tork) and the V8 biturbo M176 engine, which delivers fast and smooth power thanks to the MHEV system. It stands out for its premium build quality, MBUX technology, and excellent driving comfort (especially with E-Active Body Control damping). The main downsides are high fuel consumption (12.5 L/100km / 19 MPG EPA), very high maintenance costs, heavy weight (2395 kg), and common problems reported with V167 models such as AIRMATIC system defects (if present), early problems with MBUX system software, reluctance of 9G-TRONIC transmission and problems with various electrical sensors.
